The direct benefits of participation are in the form ofguidance and support, although some of the participating departments have established fundingfor their initiatives outside of the TECAID program. Our department has secured funding fromour College and other sources for certain aspects of our initiatives, but there are many facets ofour proposed initiatives that require minimal or no funding.The application process for the TECAID program required us, among other things, to

An introduction of the methodology is presented inthe form of five specific topics: (a) the fundamentals of DOE, (b) the assumptions of modelbuilding, (c) setting objectives for an experiment, (d) selecting process input variables (factors)and output responses, and (e) weighing the objectives of the virtual experiment versus thenumber of factors identified in order to arrive at a choice of an experimental design. The methodis then specialized for FEM applications by choosing a specific objective and a subclass ofexperimental designs known as the fractional factorial

request anonymous feedback on the course at the end of each quarter to provide an alternate forum for their voice to be heard.c) In addition to teamwork and communication, we also embed diversity content in the curriculum. A highlight of the year is when we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences as women in the engineering workplace. Hearing about how women have been and continue to be treated as engineers is an eye-opening discussion for the students. We also include practical applications for the students. For example, we discuss what they should do if they see someone disrespecting someone from an underrepresented group in the workplace. Another major theme in the course is ethics, where we study ethical dilemmas

The two primary reason theinstructor for CE483 developed the flipped classroom for the Fall of 2021 was to free up in-classtime to work complex design problems for a common real-world building plan. The intent was tohelp students connect concepts to a single building design as they progressed through the course.The results were compared to the non-flipped course in the Fall of 2021.The instructor created 1-2 videos for each lesson. The average length of each video wasapproximately 20 minutes. The videos were posted on Microsoft Stream and accessed bystudents on Microsoft Teams.

Makerspaces have the goal of encouraging underserved youth to express their creativityand learn through a hands-on technology-rich environment [3],[4].

The course introduces the engineering design process,teamwork, and many design/build/test projects. These topics all cater toward problem solvingand creativity. In the junior year, the students are doing plenty of “real-world” engineering anddesign in their coursework which also promotes creativity and teamwork. Unfortunately, there isa gap in learning experiences that promote creativity, teamwork and engineering design duringthe sophomore year when students are busy taking general humanities, mathematics, science,computer applications

remember is that learningtakes time. Learners need time to ponder ideas, use, and revisit them. Learning is the product ofrepeated exposure and thought. Finally, motivation is essential for learning. That is, learnersneed to know why something is being learned; that is, they need to know the ways in whichknowledge can be used.Situated learning essentially builds on the constructivist principle of contexualized knowledge. Inother words, drawing from Brown, Collins, and Duguid (1989), knowledge cannot be extractedfrom the situations in which it is learned and used.29 On the contrary, learning must becontextualized, or situated such that knowledge is related to real world experiences. In this way,knowledge is understood through use. Further, through

Discussions within engineering classes about the social and human relevance ofparticular topics and case studies would help not only to improve the perception of engineering’svalue to society, but will also make the content come alive.Further, career centers and advisors could work with companies such that more of an emphasis isplaced on the social impact of the job than the salary or advanced technology. One othersuggestion is to continue encouraging student involvement with co-curricular activities. Many ofthese complement and connect classroom learning with the real world and allow students toexperience the impacts of engineering works in a more real way before entering the profession.Tanya was heavily involved with NSBE, Quinn worked

Price inflation is measured by taking the same physical quantity of items and measuring the price of those goods periodically. Because the physical items being measured do not change, an increase in prices will indicate inflation, which affects monetary value only. Grade inflation exists when the value of grade point averages increases with no change in the real physi- cal attributes of what the grades are measuring. In other words, grade inflation re- fers to an overall rise in grades with
